he’s a fictional character to you, i know him personally
Have I pretty much stopped caring about Bungou Stray Dogs? Yes. Yes I have. Will Soukoku forever be that one ship that I adore and changed the trajectory of my life? Yes. Yes it will. Will I continue consuming Soukoku fanfic, art and edits? Yes. Yes I will.
Begging someone either make an animatic or edit of Bruce and Dick to Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA.
life is so much better when you have a work of fiction to obsess over
I need her biblically
One of the things I love most is the bond of complicity between Selina and Dick that has been built over the years.
She saw the little, nosy Robin grow up and become a leader, a good man who carries the weight of so many responsibilities, just like his father.
He met the woman behind the thief he wanted to catch so badly, he saw someone who cares about the strays of Gotham (and Batman) as much as she loves jewelry.
Their journey today is independent of Selina and Bruce's relationship. Aside from a certain stupid editorial decision, they have seen each other mature over the years and care for each other like family.
I feel like dicks favourite sibling is Tim , don't get me wrong her definitely loves evryone else a lot okay but he has a very specific relation with tim and they both siblings more than any of the other siblings sibling , like in front of Damian dick has to be responsible wether thats because Damian is still a pretty young kid or because dick was pushed into some sort of a parental role over him when bruce was in the time stream you can decide , with Jason it's more complicated and he hasn't known duke all that long and cass she's awesome don't get him wrong but fav sibling titile definitely goes to tim because with tim he could do the most dangerous reckless bullshit and Tim would just go "aight bet" and they'd do it together because with the shit tim pulls with yj and how passively suicidal dick is half the time they click amazingly together.
Y’all remember when Jason missed Dick so he dressed up as Nightwing and started killing people and then he ended up turning into an octopus?
Dick Grayson really gets the OC treatment in Nightwing (1996) and what I mean by the OC treatment is: “Just how much trauma can I put this character through”
Let’s go through the list
- First he decides to become a cop to take down the corruption of the police force; he basically swears off of sleep. He’s fighting crime during the day, he’s fighting crime at night. There is no time for this man to sleep.
- He actually ends up loving this job and even though he planned on quitting once the BPD got fixed, he stays. Just when he’s happy BAM! He gets fired after his boss and former partner learns about his identity
- Barbara breaks up with him
- Blockbuster learns his secret identity and decides to make his life a living hell
- He burns down Haly’s circus
- He blows up Dick’s apartment building, killing a good chunk of the supporting cast
- He’s pretty much homeless after this and sleeps on a fire escape using newspapers as a blanket and pillow
- Blockbuster threatens to kill everyone he knows. Literally. He says that if Dick so much as shakes someone’s hand, he’ll kill them
- He’s so severely fucked up about this he lets Tarantula kill Blockbuster
- She then SAs him (and it’s literally NEVER addressed??)
- Dick can’t handle the guilt and pretty much becomes passively suicidal.
- He has so much trauma and PTSD from this entire thing that Tim, Alfred and Barbara all mention something about him losing his spark
- He turns himself in but his former boss/partner gets himself out by saying he’s undercover
- Then he joins the mob???
- He pretty much pushes everyone away
- Then Death Stroke drops a chemo bomb on Blüdhaven
- Despite knowing that it’ll kill him, Nightwing continues to go into the wreckage to save as many ppl as he can.
- He passes out and is saved by Batman who takes him back to the Cave. He then gives him some tough love and talks to him about his suicidal tendencies
And that’s all I got because I haven’t finished the run yet but JESUS they put this poor guy through the wringer.
